The two best New Wave musicals you're ever going to see at Pirate Cinema both   
come thinly disguised as sci-fi trash: In Liquid Sky (1), a pre-queer post-punk 
drama shot by a small team of Soviet emigres in New York in 1982, invisible     
alien parasites in a tiny UFO land on the roof of a Manhattan penthouse and     
begin to kill for sex and heroin; in Decoder (2), a counter-surveillance        
thriller starring FM Einheit and Christiane F, inspired by Genesis P-Orridge    
and William S. Burroughs, who both appear in guest roles, an employee at a fast 
food restaurant discovers that by replacing the ubiquitous muzak with noise, he 
can incite a large-scale revolt against the government (footage of the riots    
during Ronald Reagan's 1982 visit to Berlin is used throughout the film). You're
going to see a lot of neon blue and synthetic red, and no green whatsoever.
